Philip has been working on a project for the American Physical society making a nano scale trophy for a contest they held. He made a series of football fields nested inside one another. The first is 12 millimeters long, which is about 1/2 inch. The second is 120 microns, which is about the width of a human hair. The third is 2.4 microns, which is the size of a single red blood cell. The local newspaper has now done 2 articles about the project. The first made the front page of the Local section but the one published today mad the front page just under the superbowl coverage!!! Here's the link to the article! http://www.theithacajournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080204/NEWS01/802040328/1002
